As an LCMS Lutheran, a former student of HKIS, and an educator in both Christian and secular nternational schools in Asia for the last twenty-one years, I can affirm that HKIS has drifted from core LCMS practices for a very long time, since at least the late 1970s. There have been many worthwhile educators at HKIS over the many years of its operation. Unfortunately, its administration has been very, um, "worldly" in its approach to governance. I hope resolution is forthcoming. It's sad to see division.
